             </executions>
       </plugin>
            
      <plugin>

        <version>2.1</version>
        <configuration>

	<dependency>
		<groupId>net.anotheria</groupId>
		<artifactId>moskito-core</artifactId>
		<version>${moskito-version}</version>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>net.anotheria</groupId>
		<artifactId>moskito-web</artifactId>
		<version>${moskito-version}</version>
	</dependency>
	<dependency>
		<groupId>net.anotheria</groupId>
		<artifactId>moskito-webui</artifactId>
		<version>${moskito-version}</version>
	</dependency>
  </dependencies>

    Looks like there is missed dependency that contains web-fragment descriptor

    <dependency>
       <groupId>net.anotheria</groupId>
       <artifactId>moskito-inspect-embedded</artifactId>
       <version>${moskito-version}</version>
    </dependency>
